Brian Eno
January 07003: Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now


Would Avant-Garde better characterize this piece? Sure, but it is indeed Classical in tone.


This piece of music was commissioned by the Long Now Foundation


The objective of the foundation is to creatively foster long term thinking.
A clock, a ten thousand year clock is currently under construction.


This is the music. Bell tones. Brilliant in context.


From reviewer Jim Brenholts:


January 07003: Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now is an ambitious project by Brian Eno, and it is also quite complicated in an extremely intellectual way. The heavy-handed liner notes give a detailed explanation of the algorithms and structures of this monumental CD, but do nothing to enhance the pleasure of listening to this haunting and enchanting music. Eno has taken one of man's oldest instruments -- the bell -- and developed new ways of using its inherent sonorities. His performance and recording techniques give bells deep overtone and drone qualities. The music sounds electronic and Eno merely captures the subtleties of their character. While it might be a bit out of character to compare Eno to anyone -- or anyone to Eno -- this disc is out of character for him. It will remind listeners of Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings, Klaus Wiese, and Deuter.

Space Time Redemption by Bill Laswell and Milton Graves. A bit out there for me but quite compelling.
Also, Bill Laswell / Jon Batiste / Chad Smith - The Process
A bit out there but quite compelling. I seem to be on a Bill Laswell run..
